eCalligraphy News

(Published: 3rd March )

Announcement!

Dear eCalligraphy users!

It's been a while since we had some good news for you. It wasn't the easiest decision for the greatest news we have for you this year, but for sure was one of the best decision we've made regarding the online learning program eCalligraphy.

As you might know, the eCalligraphy program has been developed in collaboration with calligrapher Khalifa El Shimy and financially supported by Ars Studio Avsenik.

Since our work and effort has not been financed by any sponsors and since we're not a non-profit organization or institution, the online learning program was available to users for different time periods and different prices.

So, we decided to make eCalligraphy available to larger specter of users from different sides of worlds by lowering the prices for 50%, now and forever. Yes, that's right! You can start learning Arabic calligraphy from 40$ (price for 2 months access) on.

Everyone should have an access to learning and we'd bee happy to offer it for free, but at the moment this solutions is not possible and we guarantee you that every cent from purchasing the eCalligraphy program is going to further development of the software and to cover the costs of the work that our precious team is doing.

Hope you'll recognize the effort we give in this program and we believe that our community of Arabic calligraphy students will become even bigger now.

Our dear colleague calligrapher and artist Mr. Khalifa El Shimy, who made our idea of online learning program for Arabic calligraphy possible, is having an independent exhibition of his artistic calligraphic work at the University of Sharjah in the College of Fine Arts and Design. The grand opening is on 6th March 2016 at 1pm. Kindly welcome to attend!

The team behind the eCalligraphy online learning program for Arabic calligraphy, thats is Ars Studio Avsenik team, wishes you all the best in the year 2016 and may all your wishes come true!

Have fun in the summer time!

There, it's that time of the year... Which time? When we close our office, turn off our cell-phones, go home and pack our stuff and vanish into the unknown. Unknown is usually the location for a relaxation, such as mountains, seaside or just chillin' in the home's backyard. Yes, that means we are off for our annual leave and we're feeling pretty much exciting about it! It's been a long year, lot's of hard working days, weeks, months... But never mind that, we love what we do, we enjoy developing our projects and we hope one day they will reach you and that you will become a part of it as well, as you did with eCalligraphy, our online learning program for Arabic calligraphy. So, here we go, not yet, but very soon. Please, be patient while waiting for our responses via email and phone calls. We'll be out of office from 28th of July until 10th of August. Of course, eCalligraphy learning program is still available to purchase during this time, since it's all automized and online, but for other orders, such as eCalligraphy Magic Cups, quotes, verses and logos in Arabic calligraphy and others, you'll have to wait for us to be back in the office! After, we will immediately respond to you, no worries! We have all the time in the world we want! :) That's it, have fun and take care of yourselves!

Custom made eCalligraphy Magic Cups for sale!

Have you ever heard about eCalligraphy Magic Cup? It is something we offer to our customers, a totally new and uniquely designed Magic Cups! eCalligraphy Magic Cups are ceramical cups in black colour. Each Magic Cup can carry a sign on itself, which can be your name or other general words. What's magical about it, is the fact that you cannot see your word(s) written on it, until you pure a hot water, tea or coffee or any other hot drink inside the cup. The high temperature causes a physical reaction and turns the dark surface into white, the consequence of which is the disclosure of your chosen word(s), written in Arabic calligraphy by our master of Arabic calligraphy, the artist and calligrapher Khalifa El Shimy. For more information visit:

The Arab Emirate Sharjah has been selected as the Islamic Culture Capital of the Arab Region for 2014 as part of the Islamic Culture Capital program, which is sponsored and supervised by the Islamic Organization for Education, Science and Culture. Sharjah now helds the 6th edition of Sharjah Calligraphy Biennial under the theme 'Get Acquainted' starting from April 2, 2014 until June 2, 2014.

This biennial is aiming to reveal the power, beauty and authenticity of the letter in bringing cultures together. It introduces the features of Islamic civilization and calligraphy as a major form of artistic expression in Islamic culture.

This edition of the biennial hosts calligraphic and ornamental creations that go beyond the scope of modern and classical Arabic Calligraphy, showing masterpieces from all around the world, that celebrate Arabic and Islamic arts and pay tribute to the talented calligraphers from all around the world.

The 6th edition of the Biennial features 56 exhibitions, 1218 artworks by 737 participating artists from 36 countries. The programme includes 43 seminars, 123 workshops, 36 film screenings, 6 educational courses and 43 field trips. The exhibitions are located in 20 museums and art institutions.

Unfortunately, we had only time to visit a Special Exhibition of Testimonial Verses, a collection of HE Mohammed Al Mur, but we admit that Sharjah Calligraphy Biennial is truely one of the leading global cultural events, giving a great contribution to preservation and development of Islamic and Arabic calligraphy.

Report from the ADIBF 2014

The Abu Dhabi International Book Fair was held from 30th of April until 5th of May in ADNEC (Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre), that is underneath the famous leaning tower Capital Gate (160m), which features an 18° incline to the west!

We have attended the book fair together with our affiliate partner company Pioneers (Al Rowad) Publishing House from Syria. In Hall 8 at the stand B32 near Kalimat, Ilustrator's Corner and Mutanabi House we were presenting Arabic and English books, and of course introducing our innovative online learning program for Arabic calligraphy, eCalligraphy, which has been really well accepted by the visitors from all over the country. We have also sold all of the eCalligraphy Magic Cup with a MashAllah sign on it!

ADIBF has with 1025 exhibitors from 50 countries and with more than 500,000 titles on display each year, became the hub of the Arab book trade and the point of reference for booksellers, publishers and distributors in the Arabian Peninsula and Gulf region.

We had a pleasure to attend ADIBF for the second year in a row and based on Abu Dhabi's hospitality and organization, we would like to stress out, we'll sure come back again when the next opportunity arises!

“My passion is expressing the different types of Arabic calligraphy on canvas, and I believe it is very important to preserve the Islamic arts and heritage, which reflect the glorious past of the Islamic civilization, and encourage the learners to have more belief in themselves,” said Khalifa El Shimy. “For me, the three most important lessons in life are to love your work, to have patience and to keep practicing."
